Honest - S2-E17

Visible crew/equipment: When the attendants wheel the boy who can't breathe into the ER, then stop at the nurses' station so Morton can have a look at him, there are two white tape marks visible on the floor, one is below the base station's tape recorder, where a nurse first stands, and the other is at the side of the main desk, where that same nurse (behind Dixie) stands a moment later.

Visible crew/equipment: After Roy gets chewed out by Dr. Sunderlin, when he and Johnny get back to the station, the spotlight on the passenger side is shiny and reflective, and set lights are reflected in it, then when the dispatcher drops tones for the next run, the spotlight has been sprayed with a dulling spray.

Show Biz - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Early is with the farmer with the unknown illness and talking to Dixie, there's a tall dark item sticking up on the left side of the farmer's buttoned shirt pocket, and then when Dr. Knott stops to ask him questions the item is sticking up on the right side of the buttoned pocket. It could not have simply shifted sides in the pocket, because the pocket flap is buttoned at the center.

Visible crew/equipment: When Squad 51 responds to 'man injured', when they arrive at the house, Johnny asks Roy if there's a dog on the roof, and it cuts to a shot of Sheba, the dog, just as she glances toward the tree, and behind the tree we can see the moving legs of a crew member, likely Sheba's trainer.
